Lots of people asked, so I finally caved and did unzipped / zipper eyes But I wasn't about to do it like everyone else already has... I had to put my own twist to the look. Pictures and a full list of products used on my website!

"I got so many requests to do Mystique's Transformation. I thought it was the perfect timing when the New X-men First Class came out last week. It was a fun Creating the scales, Something that I usually don't do in my Tutorials. What more can I say 'You guys know I love being Blue'"

There are easier ways to be assimilated into the Borg Collective, but 300 manhours and approximately $800 can fake it well enough. This amazing light-up Evil Jean Luc Picard costume even has a drink holster in the crotchual region, for when cybernetic organisms need a quick cool-down. Check out the full details on the build over at Instructables.

"I just got the photos from my Catwoman photoshoot w/Jade at Otakon this
past summer and WOWOWOW I’m so happy with how they look!!!

Catwoman
was one of those cosplays that involved a lot of firsts. First cosplay
not anime/vidya/Disney, first cosplay sewing stretch fabric, first
cosplay wearing a skin-tight outfit… And I’m super pleased with how it
came out! The next con I wear this to, I’ll need to make some
improvements. But this is still a super fun costume to wear, I love
being Selina!! She’s one of my favourite comic book ladies.

"My makeup from today, at Son of Monsterpalooza. I entered the Cinema
Makeup School Makeup Throw-down, and won second place. I won a 3k
scholarship to Cinema Makeup School, $300, an airbrush, $60 to Frends
Beauty Supply, and few other little goodies. To say I'm on cloud 9 would
be the understatement of the century. Oh, the fun things I got to do with that masquerade mask..."

Burgess demonstrates how he made his electronic demon costume in this how-to video originally posted at Adafruit Industries. The costume has LED eyes, a voice changer, and LED waveform “mouth,” and is made from several Adafruit kits.

"This is my rendition of the Tardis. Classy and Sexy like a movie star
because the Tardis is the star of the show and steals Dr. Who’s hearts! P.S. I also made my own patch to replace the St. John’s Ambulance one."

Just finished this Death Eater mask for Halloween. To make it, I covered
my face in plaster cloth to get the shape, then built on top of the
plaster mask with paper clay. Then I sanded it, scribed in the lines,
and finally painted it with silver spray paint, and weathered it with
acrylics. It was tons of fun!

Taking 8 months to create, Andrew’s Stealth Iron Man costume has a mechanized helmet and electronics that light up the eyes, palms, and chestplate. Check the full explanation for his build over at instructables.

Patrick Willems went to New York Comic Con for Bleeding Cool. Here is a spotlight on one of the best cosplayers we met (and had the pleasure to work with) at NYCC,
Aaron Wahl as Booster Gold. Seriously, there's a wirelessly-controlled robot Skeets.

Mash-up Friday the 13th's Jason with Tron-style visual effects and it might look a little something like this. I know that'd be a movie I'd go see. Learn how to make your own with thick paper and glow-in-the-dark tape over at Thingiverse.

"I nearly lost 7kg of my weight to do this cosplay and I guess I still need to be on diet.... Jack is like my super super favorite character therefore I had to do my best." Check out more photos taken with Chaco playing the role of Sally.

"My first Marvel cosplay! Skirt, corset top, and cape made by Aria Belle of Mimoari Play. Hair wings made by me. Wig styling by me.

I'm more of a DC girl, but when it
comes to Marvel I love me some Thor. I was a huge fan of the Lolita
Avengers designs that were floating around for a while, and I thought
the design for Thor was just too cute. This outfit is really comfortable
and fun to wear, and I ♥ my Mjölnir."
